A British man, Kai West, has been charged for operating under the alias 'IntelBroker' on a cybercrime forum and selling stolen data, resulting in over $25 million in losses. The U.S. Southern District of New York Attorney's Office has announced the prosecution of Kai West. According to court documents, an undercover law enforcement officer sent a private message to 'IntelBroker' offering to purchase a victim's data for $250 worth of Bitcoin (BTC). The individual provided an address linked to West, delivered the data after payment, which allegedly included three administrator-level usernames and passwords. West was arrested in France in February, and the U.S. is currently seeking extradition.
